Very good experience so far. They will come service every 3 months, and all pipes will be replaced at least once every year. The only downside is if you need to drink a lot of hot water very quickly (like within 5 minutes you want more than about 1.5L) it’ll run out of hot water and it needs a while to reboil, but overall I’m very happy with the instant hot/cold water feature. Tankless so small footprint and looks modern.

i like the design too

Using the white WD512AN: https://www.lg.com/my/puricare/lg-WD512AN-w.

Paid upfront, forgot how much already but it's definitely more worth it than renting each month.

I thought about it and asked the agent if they have run water test before but answer is no. For now I'll keep this since the water doesn't taste off. If it's good enough for South Koreans it's good enough for me.

korea tap water is crystal clear and drinkable... mana mana pun clean water.

LG got list their filter in nsf, but only for their refrigerator water filters.

we have other issues such as metal, chemical, antibiotic pollution into river and we drinking it.

Yeah true, hopefully they be more transparent about their certification or the tech they're using to remove the contaminants

Expensive not because of quality
Expensive because of movie star endorsement
The cartridge change is too frequent I think. They come service based on time, not liters

After more research, I think I changed my mind from cuckoo (Exel model) to consider LG Puricare (model WD210AN), https://lgpuricare.store/promotion/

Reason: tankless and UV (auto every 1 hour or manual 5 min if needed)

I purposely choose this model which doesn't have cold water because we don't drink cold water.

I wish that they add Panasonic's feature whereby each filter has an indicator when to change the filter. This way we only replace the filter when needed (optimize the cost).

RM78 a month. lockdown 3 years. Total amount : RM 2808.

Although this video is for Singapore, it is quite interesting -

Anyone tried to test your water purifier water quality with water tester like Xiaomi TDS? https://www.richardbarrow.com/2019/03/revie...ity-tester-pen/

There is another one 5 in 1 water quality tester I found - https://shopee.com.my/yieryi-New-5-in-1-Wat...7597.7419405695

if your water source not from well or river

normal Panasonic filter Change filter after a year rm100 then
stainless steel kettle boil

our tab water is already filtered from small practical like sand boiling kill most of the bad organism while keeping the minerals that your body required

those fancy marketing brand is just want your $$ nothing beneficial. blindly buy their products is wrong, filter what 0.000 bs act like human dont need minerals from water. The cuckoo also u do no need it to have minerals, in water it naturally have it in water, charge u rm700+ for what. fking boil it like how your parents and ancestors been doing they lived fine with those water
